“Out of the economic chaos, the discontent of the Jew evolved organized capital with its working instrumentality, the banking system . . . .
“One of the impressive phenomena of the impressive time is the revolt of the Jew against the Frankenstein which his own mind conceived and his own hand fashioned. . . .
“That achievement (Russian Bolshevik revolution—Ed.), destined to figure in history as the over-shadowing result of the World War, was largely the outcome of Jewish thinking, of Jewish discontent, of Jewish effort to reconstruct . . . .
“What Jewish idealism and Jewish discontent have so powerfully contributed to accomplish in Russia, the same historic qualities of the Jewish mind and heart are tending to promote in other countries . . . .
“Shall America, like the Russia of the Czars, overwhelm the Jew with the bitter and baseless reproach of being a destroyer, and thus put him in the position of an irreconcilable enemy?
“Or shall America avail itself of Jewish genius as it avails itself of the peculiar genius of every other race? . . . .
“That is the question for the American people to answer.”
—From an article in The American Hebrew, Sept. 10, 1920.
